Hey all GA-P55M-UD4 and similar owners. Here is my log of my *complete idiots* *stubbornly speedstep enabled* way of getting os x to work:
Here are the core specs:
P55M-UD4
Core i5 750 - turbo on, speedstep on, stock speeds, hpet 64bit, ahci, floppy disabled.
4gb gskill ripjaws
896mb gtx 260 BFG, 216 core version
Dlink 552 wireless abgn (Atheros)
Updated:
Fresh install with tonymac iso with DSDT-GA-P55M-UD2-9400GT-Corei5750-SpeedStep.aml loaded inside preboot.dmg
Needed to use -x to load installer and subsequently -x to load 10.6.0 from hdd.
Copied boot, DSDT.aml, Extra to root directory from tonymac iso.
Immediately updated to 10.6.2 - Remove GraphicsEnabler=Yes, and will boot without cd and supports QE/CI.
Graphics card is recognized as 9400GT as tony's dsdt has it hard coded. The sound doesn't work either.
Wireless card is being left alone -- causes KP with core i5 i7 procs and nukes the installation -- Leave it alone for now!
OUTSTANDING ISSUES:
Enable sound
Proper graphics card identification
*Wireless
I struggle with the DSDT side of things. If anyone can explain where to change dsdt to fit the 260 as opposed to 9400 gt that would be a huge start. Same goes for audio.
OLDMethod:
I was able to load the installer in SAFE MODE -x using the vanilla tonymac iso with the DSDT-GA-P55M-UD2-9400GT-Corei5750-SpeedStep.aml dropped into preboot.img
Installed great, and am able to use tonymac iso to bootload from the hard drive [clarification: still SAFE MODE only].
Installed realtek and NV Enabler kexts as per instructions
Problems:
Reboots every time I try to run straight from hdd with or without safe mode.
I can roll back changes obviously or try different DSDT files, but i'm clueless as to what to try at this point. I tried taking the vanilla P55M-UD4 DSDT Device PCI0 section and replaced the 9400gt jargon. NVEnabler throws a couple hundred debug lines and stops loading in verbose mode.
Could anyone suggest 1. boot.plist 2. dsdt setup 3. proper kext setup?? Would be really helpful! TIA
Whenever I try to run DSDTSE a process called ioreg goes 100% and it never loads. After a few attempts i have all cores maxed out and have to shut er off lol!!
